April 2008

Birthday portraits:

Granddaughter, Dacey, soon to be twenty-one!


Granddaughter, Jenna. The portrait is for her mother's birthday.

This is my youngest granddaughter, Kimberly, who just turned eleven.


This is Jasmine, known as "Jazz", my daughter-in-law's constant companion.



This is a recent flower painting, "Camellia".




April is almost over and I have not posted anything. I have been painting some family portraits and I have just framed a new flower painting. The portraits are of granddaughters and a grand-dog. These portraits are birthday gifts for my daughter-in-law and two of my granddaughters. The flower is a Camellia. Painting flowers is like eating comfort food. I like to savor one every once in awhile. I am currently working on two more paintings and helping the Knoxville chapter of the Tennessee Watercolor Society. The TnWS 31st Exhibition will open in June, 2008. Look for news of that exhibition in future posts.
